This task shows you how to open a CATIA Version 4 Session
in CATIA V5 and DMU Navigator V5 on Windows or Unix.
This procedure allows you to translate V4 data into V5 Format. Opening a CATIA Version 4 session generates a CATIA Version 5 CATProduct. This CATProduct contains the .model documents linked to the .session document. |
A V4 Session document contains several CATIA V4 models. | |
Only V4 Sessions saved in References only can be read in CATIA V5 and DMU Navigator V5. | |
|

In our example the Session documents looks like this in DMU Navigator V5: |
|
|
|
V4 Session documents can be accessed from Windows NT with the http
protocol. Make sure that an http server has been installed on the machine
where the V4 data is stored.
The address to be specified should look like this: http://UNIXserver:port/V4datalocation. |
|
If the links on the models are unresolved, the following dialog box appears: | |
Use the Search Order environment to specify the directories in which your linked documents are saved. For more information about the Search order environment, refer to the DMU Infrastructure User's Guide, Document. |
|
If CATIA Version 4 Session has been saved
with a DLName (for instance, SESSION_DIR), and not with an UNIX path, you
can specify the DLName into the Search Order list.
For more information about saving a .session document in a DLName environment, read Saving CATIA Version 5 CATProducts As CATIA Version 4 Sessions. |
